A few years ago, the professional golf community led by a few personalities, got into heavier lifting. Now, this was rather odd. If you go back to the old days of Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player and Arnold Palmer, do you think they lifted heavy weights? And I think Arnold Palmer is still playing.

But my point is, the more you deadlift, the less you will be able to throw a football and play golf. So if your goal in life is to be generally able to enjoy a really diverse array of activities, be careful on the tools that you choose.

So going back to the pro golfers of say 15 years ago, when a few of them got into Olympic lifting, which is heavy hip mobility down to the deep squat for the snatch and tremendous shoulder mobility and deadlifts. Not one of them, to my knowledge, and I know some of them intimately well, hit the ball further. But they ended up with sore knees and disc bulges.

Essentially, really heavily compromising their careers. And then a few of them, and I've worked with quite a number of them, have now backed off that heavy lifting. And they have less pain, far more resilience. And I think they're going to be playing a lot longer for it. So I know that's going to create some controversy, but so be it.

If you want, first of all, I don't put you in the category of high risk for osteoporosis, which is mineral loss from your bones through genetics and way under the tipping point in terms of load stimulation. So I'm not worried about that for you. So if I was, that would justify a heavier loading regimen for now. But as alternatives, a rear leg elevated split squat.

You can do it just with body weight or consider this, interlace your fingers, put them behind your head, become a peacock, lift your chest up. Now do the split leg rear elevated squats, like lunge squats. And you're potentiating the erector spinae and the whole stabilizing mechanism by pushing up and resisting.

Now, do you see how that just stimulated your whole upper body? And the more you push and the more you- Metal traps, everything lined up.
